Fairy Tail Discussion

Welcome to the Fairy Tail discussion thread. Whether you're watching the anime or reading the manga, you're already knee-deep in the series or you're checking it out for the first time, you're more than welcome here.

SPOILER WARNING! -- When discussing the manga please use the spoiler options in the editor, thanks.

Plot: Across the Fiore kingdom, wizards join guilds and make their pay by filling magical needs—but one guild has a reputation as the roughest, rowdiest, most dangerous of all: Fairy Tail! When four young Fairy Tail members unite, their bond is forged by a power found in neither muscle nor magic and grows stronger with every mission. Whatever you do, don’t mess with these friends or you’ll get a taste of Natsu’s flaming fist or Gray’s ice hammer, suffer a painful blow from one of Lucy’s celestial spirits or catch the edge of Erza’s mighty blade! Whether they’re stopping demons from devastating the world or wrestling in the mess hall, this mystical team manages to inflict as much damage to their rivals as they do to the surrounding area!— FUNimation

Important Pages

When adding locations to episodes or volumes, don't forget to add parent locations. For example, when adding Japan, Earth should also be added. Locations appearing in flashback sequences generally don't count.

Miscellaneous

I got some shots of our old post that I accidentally deleted due to some glitch.

Sorry @Acura_Max and everyone.

The episode was decent, but they spend too much time on Hidden game. Hopefully, the battle between Lucy and Flare will have good action, and it will take the whole episode. Most of times, the good battles are often the short ones that need a little more fight in it. Natsu's battles need to be short because that guy's powers are done already. I seen everything from Natsu already.

Man, Random Curiosity did a better job in stitching the caps for Lucy and Flare than me. I'll keep practicing.

These are my attempts at stitched caps. The confetti made it hard. You will see lines more in Lucy than Flare.

Wales and I talked about the characters' image galleries with how Natsu and the main crew have so much images which doesn't need to have the new arcs: Key of the Starry Sky and the Grand Magic Games. I'll transfer the episode images to the minor characters since their galleries are small. For consistency, should I keep going and add Natsu's crew images to their character pages.

Checklist for the Character Portraits

@takashichea: I think the episode was focusing on setting up the grudge between Raven Tail and Fairy Tail. I have a feeling the fight between Lucy and Flare will be really rough, but after that I have to imagine Fairy Tail will start winning some points back and become serious contenders. I'll be surprised if it doesn't end up being between Fairy Tail, Raven Tail and Sabertooth towards the end of the tournament.

Your stitched caps aren't bad, though the Flare image doesn't appear to be aligned perfectly. The easiest way to get rid of overlap lines is to use the eraser tool on the edge of the front/top image to make it blend in with the other image. Luckily the stitched caps from Random Curiosity are really good.

Even though Lucy had lost, this is one of her best battles. I wish I can see more of her Celestial Spirits like Loke in action, but Flare cheated. I was on the edge of my seat when Lucy is about to turn the tables on Flare only to have her magic canceled out by Obra. It was a close battle.

I just love how everyone reacted towards Gemini who turned into Lucy wearing only a towel. With the guys all riled up, Mavis was wondering about her curves.

Poor Mavis, judging from this episode and the new OVA it looks like she's even more of a pettanko than Wendy. That's just what happens when you live in a world of buxom, I guess. I have been wondering why she looks so young, though. Surely a Guild Master can't be about the same age as Wendy, unless she really is just that damn powerful. I hope we get some good back story on her at some point.

I genuinely didn't expect that. I thought Flare would be really powerful and give Lucy a lot of trouble, but it looks like Lucy would have mopped the floor with Flare if Raven Tail hadn't played dirty.

I thought this was a really good episode, especially the last scene, I thought that was a really touching Natsu/Lucy moment.

@DBZ_universe: @sakurablossomyears: Oooooh, you guys are talking about the manga. I got really confused for a second there.

You know, there is a note about spoilers in the first post. Please use the spoilers options in the editor when talking about the manga so you won't say anything us anime guys don't want to know about yet. Thanks.

@sakurablossomyears: It's easy, just add a spoiler block (you might need to press the "more" button to see the spoiler block button), then click on "Click here to reveal hidden content" to expand it, then click the expanded part and type all the spoilers you want!
